In his statement, Wahyu Munandar, M.or as the Lecturer in the course said that the Special High School for Sports Talents was the main target in this socialization.
"So that output This course is right on target, so it is fitting that this material is delivered at a sports talent school, namely material about how to prevent injuries from occurring either during practical learning or training, considering that physical and technical training activities at SMANKO have a larger portion than general learning. , so that there is a chance of injury either directly, indirectly or indirectly secondary injuries "that is, injuries to the same place/part are caused by inadequate healing and forcing physical exercise," he said.
Apart from that, in his presentation, he also explained a little about the factors that cause injuries and several examples of injuries during sports.
“Sport is a medium for realizing injury/trauma/injury. This is due to several factors including warming up And stretching those who are less than optimal then do core training with irregular intensity causing several parts of the body to experience high pressure. Sports injuries occur in the system musculoskeletal namely the body's movement system which consists of muscles, bones and joints," he explained.
“Some examples of injuries that commonly occur during physical training include; bruises, bruises/constitution, muscle cramp, strains And sprains, dislocation, fracture, fainting and bleeding. "If the training procedures have been fulfilled but injury cannot be avoided, then the most appropriate method to practice is the Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation (RICE) method," he added.
Finally, Wahyu Munandar, M.Or also emphasized that students should not underestimate the warm-up actions when they want to do sports.
"To the students not to underestimate the warm-up which is the initial procedure before training by jogging to increase body temperature, then stretching namely stretching the muscles and joints to the maximum so that when doing core exercises the body's movement system becomes flexible. Core training should be started with a light-difficult intensity so that the body can adapt to the techniques applied later. cooling down is the final procedure so that blood circulation is maintained when the body experiences a condition up and down during training. "This procedure is a tip that we hope can be applied by young SMANKO athletes," he concluded.
